Biography
Aimee de Coigny was born in Paris, France on 12 October 1769, the daughter of an ennobled general. During the French Revolution, her husband emigrated from France to join the royalists, and Aimee - who sought to distance herself from the emigres - divorced her husband in 1793, and she had another failed marriage while living in London. During the Bourbon Restoration era, she wrote to her friend Lady Holland that King Louis XVIII of France had surpassed the comedian Moliere; Moliere had created only one bourgeois gentilhomme (Tartuffe), while King Louis had created twelve. She died in 1820 at the young age of 50.
